Make sure that in every major investment, you are backed up - in simple terms, make sure that you purchase dining room furniture with a warranty. Do not EVER buy something that has no guarantee of service repairs or replacement. As your customer, it is your right to return something if it doesn't do what it is supposed to do. You don't want to end up regretting buying something that is actually damaged goods and finding out that you cannot even take it to the shop to have it replaced, much less repaired. If you are getting a promotional offer for your dining room furniture, make sure you do the math so ensure that you aren't really being cheated on your money. There are shops who try to make it appear as if you are saving money buy availing of a promotional offer, but there are hidden costs involved in some, and for others, well, the math simply doesn't add up because sometimes, you end up paying more than you should had you just gone with the regularly-priced items.
